I'll admit, was a nice try at trolling

Play the game, don't be played.

I hope everyone has figured out no one is calling anyone else names. It's just one person trying to troll all of you.... and it's no one that has posted in this thread.

I got tells from two different level ones last night with the same quotes as Arykus posted above. Didn't think to write down the names; I assumed someone created them just for the shit-stirring tells. I just replied to both: "never heard of him" and went on fighting in oasis.

Can someone explain trolling to me? What do people get out of it? I understand it is to illicit a reaction. I don't get why that is so "fun." Gotta be a generation thing.

Haha he got me twice too. Forget names. Thanks for including me in this thanksgiving time trolling troll. I feel speshul.

I had already read this thread yesterday, when I got my /tell last night. It was promptly ignored, but thought I would share it's pretty rampant. People(s) be really busy with this.

Trolling as commonly known on the webs has been around long before the webs. Spreading "gossip" about others is pretty much the same thing before the webs, but on the internet with anonymity, they can be much more aggressive/flagrant with the BS to get faster or more exaggerated responses. Spread lies, misinformation, and or generally just pushing someone's personal "buttons" to watch the reactions and get their own nasty satisfaction they caused it. Sometimes it's related to "payback" or just griefing someone, sometimes the person is the type that just gets satisfaction from causing general social mayhem and getting to watch it play out with no personal vendetta at all. Some people are just toxic in that way, and in real life they have to face consequences when their lies catch up to them. The webs... makes it really easy.

Not to be confused with bullying. (I mention cause recently the web reporters have been aflame with grouping it all under "cyber bully".

Bully = "Your stupid and fat!"

Troll = "Billy told everyone your stupid and fat." (when he did not.)

He's still at it. 6 different chars so far today, ranging from "He hates you and is saying it on his stream" to "Send him a tell and I'll stop spamming you" to "He hired me to spam everyone to get traffic for his stream"

Sad, sad individual.

[Samoht Farstrider]

I got a bunch of tells last night too to spam Hathaway.
